Like the previous post I won’t be describing the entire episode as you will just have to listen to it to hear what we talked about.

But here is a few links of the people that worked with Danny (like the previous episode, in chronological order).

Listen at the end of the show to see who I will be talking to next week. Those of you who frequent forums will know this person… for sure.

Again thank you so much Danny for being so generous and willing to talk to me and now everyone who downloads this episode.

Well, here we are again.

As promised here is Part 1 of 2 with my chat with Danny Williams.

Danny, if you dont know was a former modeller at Blue Sky Sudios for over 10 years (currently working at ArenaNet). In this episode we talk about what got him to that point, all the way upto Robots. And being a modeler it was awesome listening to his stories and experiences.

I cannot spend alot of the post waffling because there will be a plethora of links further down with people that have helped Danny along the way and vise-versa. (in chronological order)
